Kereru Feather Pin

New Zealand's native Kereru (New Zealand Wood Pigeon) wear white plumage `vests'.  The rest of their feathers are brilliantly rainbow coloured in green, blue, purple, orange and gold iridescent hues.  Kereru make a distinctive heavy wing beating sound as they fly through New Zealand forests, foraging for native berries.

A sterling silver feather (3cm long), hand painted with iridescent porcelain paint in greens and blues, with a white curling koru.

Soldered to an 8mm sterling silver lapel pin with a sterling silver pinch closure.  

Please note: The gap between the flower and the closure is 4mm, so this pin is best worn with thicker material.

Please note:

Lilygriffin jewellery is dainty and delicate, so care must be taken when wearing and storing it.  

Please do not wear while exercising, swimming, gardening, showering, cleaning or sleeping.  Store in a soft protective pouch or box out of direct sunlight and away from moisture, excessive heat or cold.  Please do not store in the bathroom.  Avoid contact with household chemicals, perfumes, creams, and hairspray/gels.

I would be delighted if you wanted to wear my jewellery everyday, but please be aware that you will be able to enjoy your hand painted pieces longer if they are not worn on a day to day basis.
